ScrollBar / ScrollViewer for entire app. (templates)

ChristineZeller — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 01:11:07 GMT

I'm using a template and it doesn't fit on all my endusers screens. Is there a way to add scrollbars for the entire application?
Thanks
Christine

I would not recommend adding scrollbars to the whole application due to the fact that you will loose some of the mouse/click functionality on the map control (such as panning). Have you considered changing your UI design to use collapsable portions of your template or maybe using the something like the ribbon control? The Ribbon control allows users to place their tools into a menu placed at the top portion of the UI--much the same as MS Word or Excel.

Thanks,

Paul Leedham,

Thanks for the reply. At this point I can't use the ribbon template. My app is built and deployed with the frosted tabs. Maybe I can design something to a collaspe tabs small when there not being used but until then I would like to maybe try and just add the scrollview. Would you mind telling me how?

Thanks
